The No Needle No Scalpel Vasectomy Gives New Thought To Contraception

By Margaret Fisher


Usually, whenever men hear the term vasectomy, they usually cringe with a strange look on their face. Many have heard horror stories that have evolved from the operation that they pray they will never be requested to have performed. However, there is a new procedure that takes place that is called a no needle no scalpel vasectomy.

Years ago, the procedure may have given some discomfort for a few days in comparison to today's new methods. Now, it is considered to be virtually painless. The main goal of this method is to cut the vas deferens so that they can no longer deliver sperm. Many look at this as a great form of contraception. It is very quick, and sexual performance is not affected.

Due to its painless and less evasive method, more than 400,000 vasectomies have been performed all over the United States, in comparison to years ago. The procedure itself is much more simpler than a tubal ligation. Usually women use this method to prevents eggs from reaching the uterus. However, vasectomies are much easier to reverse, and is chosen as a reliable method of birth control.

One of the major accomplishments of this technique is administering anesthesia without a needle. The method is much quicker and done without extensive pain. The healing process is accelerated. Doctors that make up the Associated urologists of Orange County count it an honor and privilege to be able to be the first to perform such a wonderful technique where the results are phenomenal.

Having some basic knowledge about the male reproductive system will help in understanding the vasectomy procedure. The testicles are where sperm is produced and stored. They are located at the base of the penis in a sac known as the scrotum. The tube that each testicle is connected to is called the epididymis. The sperm can be stored for six weeks until they have reached maturity.

The epididymis is connected by small tubes called the vas deferens. They make up part of the massive tissue called the spermatic cord that houses nerves and blood vessels. The seminal fluid that is produced comes from the prostate glands that forms semen that is ejaculated from the penis.

This is an outpatient procedure that can generally be performed in less than 15 minutes by an urologist. Individuals are asked to bring an athletic supporter as an aid in minimizing swelling and adding support for the scrotum.

Patients are not required to remove their clothing except for the waist down. An anesthetic is then applied to the scrotum without the use of a needle. The vas deferens is gathered up under the skin and a small incision is made. Using the no-scalpel procedure allows the tube to be pulled through the opening, cut in two areas, and removing a segment no longer than 1 centimeter in length. The vas deferens is then burned and placed back inside the scrotum.

As it is indeed true that there is no needle required during this treatments but it has side-effects which are not considered as a good symptoms for health so before this treatment it is advised to understand about the vasectomy procedure and the safety measures that should be taken.
